Summary

In .NET 9, a new event was added (dotnet/runtime#94737) to help diagnose thread pool starvation. It is documented in dotnet-trace #40852.

In this PR, I'm adding a section to Debug ThreadPool Starvation to show how to collect this event, and analyze it using both PerfView and a cross-platform tool that I made in Blazor.

Thanks for putting these docs together! I made some suggestions inline and probably the docs team (@gewarren or @CamSoper) will have suggestions as well.

Some of the screenshots are too tiny to read, but you can make them clickable/enlargeable.
